At least 114 people have died after a raging fire tore through a wedding hall packed with guests in Iraq, with fears the bride and groom are among the victims.
The blaze was caused by fireworks set off to celebrate a Christian wedding at a hall in the Al-Hamdaniya district of the northern Nineveh province, part of Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region. It is a predominantly Christian area just outside the city of Mosul, located 335km northwest of capital Baghdad.
